The environmental stress is a major area of scientific concern because it constraints plant as
well as crop productivity. This situation has been further worsened by anthropogenic …

Abstract Background and Aims Osmolytes are low-molecular-weight organic solutes, a
broad group that encompasses a variety of compounds such as amino acids, tertiary …

Plant genetic transformation heavily relies on the bacterial pathogen Agrobacterium
tumefaciens as a powerful tool to deliver genes of interest into a host plant. Inside the plant …

Salinity is one of the significant abiotic stresses that negatively affect plant production
processes, growth, and development, which ultimately reduce yield. Plants adapt specific …

A major problem facing humanity is that our numbers are growing but the availability of land
and fresh water for agriculture is not. This problem is being exacerbated by climate change …

Soil salinity is a crucial environmental constraint which limits biomass production at many
sites on a global scale. Saline growth conditions cause osmotic and ionic imbalances …

Understanding abiotic stress responses in plants is an important and challenging topic in
plant research. Physiological and molecular biological analyses have allowed us to draw a …

Halophytes, plants that survive to reproduce in environments where the salt concentration is
around 200 mM NaCl or more, constitute about 1% of the world's flora. Some halophytes …

Zinc (Zn) is an essential component of thousands of proteins in plants, although it is toxic in
excess. In this review, the dominant fluxes of Zn in the soil–root–shoot continuum are …

Metabolomics is one omics approach that can be used to acquire comprehensive
information on the composition of a metabolite pool to provide a functional screen of the …
